What was the probability of Leicester winning the premiership last August?

Incredibly unlikely things do occasionally happen.

We call them 'miracles'.

Guess those Brexiteers best start praying...;)

The prime minister of Canada has told the UK that striking trade deals from outside the EU is neither easy nor automatic, after leave campaigners argued his country was a potential model for Britain if it left the union.

Justin Trudeau poured cold water on the suggestion that the UK should follow the “Canadian model” when he argued it would be better off within the EU.

EU's biggest problem is high unemployment - I know what Mrs Merkel, lets not do a trade deal with our biggest market, and lets increase Eurozone unemployment, that's what I call a plan!


EU has trade deals with Egypt, San Marino, Algeria, Andorra, Faroe Islands, Israel and many, many more, but their biggest customer the UK, wont get a good deal and fast. Hilarious.


I can't get my head around the lack of courage and vision.

And the EU has a trade deal with every nation from Iceland in the west to Turkey in the east, with one exception, Belarus, and it has a total of 53 trade deals, but their biggest customer (particularly so for Germany) and France, wont get a deal, lol.

I'm afraid this confirms a complete lack of common sense and vision.


Did you see Paxman last night - it's so obvious why the Eurozone has such high unemployment and low growth - what with the army of unaccountable elites in Brussells making rules that crush business at every turn. One Woman representing every person in Wales - passing the sorts of rules that cause industrial decline in Wales, utterly naïve, cocooned and privileged.


We've lost I think Clapton, but as I say just watch the Bremains start squealing as the EU goes ever more into decline and one far right administration after another takes power.

It took the EU and Canada 7 years to trash out a trade deal.
EU-US negotiations on TTIP are entering their 6th year.
But the UK is going to get a good deal and fast. Hilarious.

Are you saying there was NO trade between Canada and the countries of the EU before the deal was agreed? Even you aren't that ignorant.


why you are boasting that the EU-USA has already taken 6 years is beyond me : anyone reasonable would see that as an example of EU incompetence and mind numbing bureaucracy.

Britain would never have taken to the high seas if it were for the sort of apathetic, cowardly mentality on display by todays Bremains, clinging to familiarity, governed largely by completely unknown wet behind the ears Brussels paper shufflers.

Saw a bit of it.
It was uplifting to hear those British students (studying in the EU courtesy of the Erasmus programme) talking about 'personal sovereignty', their freedom to be EU and world citizens, putting it way above the narrow minded notion of national sovereignty, the 'us vs. them' mentality so often portrayed by cantankerous, angry little englanders on this forum.
It gives me hope for the future.
